Joleene Naylor is the author of the glitter-less Amaranthine vampire universe, a world where vampires aren't for children. Comprised of a main series, a standalone prequel, and several short story collections, she has plans to continue expanding with a trilogy and standalone novels. 
In her spare time, Joleene is a freelance book cover designer and for-fun photographer. She maintains several blogs, full of odd ramblings, and occasionally updates her website at JoleeneNaylor.com. In what little time is left, she watches anime, plays PokemonGo, and works on her crooked Victorian house in Villisca, Iowa. Between her husband, family, and pets, she is never lonely, in fact, quite the opposite. Should she disappear, one might look for her on a beach in Tahiti, sipping a tropical drink and wearing a disguise. 

Pulled into a world of darkness, Katelina's fate becomes intertwined with that of Jorick, a dark, enigmatic vampire. To stay by his side, she must navigate intrigue, terror and bloodshed as they are drawn from one battle to another. Dreams of peace seem elusive, and are complicated by mysterious vampires, old relics, and an ancient master. Join Katelina and Jorick in a world where vampires don't sparkle and night is eternal.

They headed upstairs for a meeting with the others. When Katelina and Xandria fell behind, the woman whispered, "That Jorick guy claimed you? Your master is going to be furious."


"What? No. Jorick is my-boyfriend." She still couldn't bring herself to call him master. 


"Shit. Seriously? When you were in Indonesia?"


"We were there to fight the Children of Shadows."


Xandria stopped to stare. "Holy crap, really? That's crazy! I have seriously been listening to Jorick-this and Wolfe-that for weeks. It figures the first sane person I meet is one of the bad guys."


"Cyprus was the bad guy," Katelina corrected automatically. The expression on Xandria's face stopped her from going further. "Never mind."


The others were waiting in the lunchroom. Katelina was barely through the door before a slinky vampiress sashayed inside. She stopped next to Oren, and gave Jorick and Jamie suggestive smiles. Then she noticed Katelina. "So it's true. Micah did what Jorick refused to."
